The density of silver metal bar is 10.5 g/cm3 and it occupies a volume space of 0.5l. What is its mass in kilograms (kg).

Respuesta :

Density is equal to the ratio of mass to the volume.

The mathematical expression is given as:

[tex]Density = \frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]

Density of silver metal bar=[tex]10.5 g/cm^{3}[/tex]

Convert [tex]g/cm^{3}[/tex] into g/L

[tex]1 cm^{3}[/tex] = 0.001 L

Thus, density  = [tex]\frac{10.5}{10^{-3}} g/L[/tex]

= [tex]10.5\times 10^{3}g/L[/tex]

Volume = 0.5 L

Put the values,

[tex]10.5\times 10^{3}g/L= \frac{mass}{0.5 L}[/tex]

[tex]m= 10.5\times 10^{3}g/L\times 0.5 L[/tex]

=[tex]5.25 \times 10^{3}g[/tex]

Now, convert gram into kg

1 g = 0.001 kg

Therefore, mass in kg=  [tex]\frac{5.25 \times 10^{3}}{10^{-3}}[/tex]

= 5.25 kg

Thus, mass of silver metal bar in kg=5.25 kg



The study of chemicals is called chemistry. Anything which occupies mass and volume is called matter.

The correct answer is 5.25kg.

What is density?

  • The density of a substance is its mass per unit volume.

The formula used to solve the question is:-

[tex]D =\frac{M}{V}[/tex]

Data is given as follows;-

  • The volume is 0.5L
  • Mass is 0.001.

Place all the values to the equation and these are:-

[tex]\frac{5.25*10^3}{0.001}[/tex]

Hence, the correct answer is 5.25.
